APPROXIMATIONS for Agriculture.

Our legislature was very liberal to agri-
cultural interests, and we think no sensi-
bic farmer can reasonably complain that
his calling was not properly recognized
and encouraged. For the two years 1887
8. a total sum of sec, $40 was appropriated
tor agricultural institutions in this State,
including the State college, Board OF Ag-
riculture, farmers institutes, the county
agricultural societies, fertilizer station,
contagious diseases of cattle, and our two
State fairs. Equally with the money paid
out for schools, that also paid out for the
encouragement of agriculture goes straight
back in small but active sums directly to
the pockets OF the farmers. For our coun-
ty agricultural societies the sum of $4,000
is paid out yearly. and for our two State
fairs the sum of $1,000 a year is given to
each. These sums are awarded in pre-
miums in such a way that they are open
to every enterprising, intelligent farmer
to win. The work of the institutes, and
that of the Board of Agriculture, as well
as the college at Orono, are of direct and
permanent benefit to our great agricultur
al interests; and 1t is through these wise
and judicious appropriations that Maine
farming and Maine men are being more
and more brought to the front. The legis
lature did wisely in making so liberal anc
unstinted appropriations for these founda
ton interests of our prosperity.

Augusta. Thursday Morning, March "a
ArbOr Day.

Arbor Day has now become fixed fact
in the farmers calendar of our State, al
though we are not aware that the date has
been yet determined upon by the Cover
nor. But when fixed we hope to see a
general observance OF the day through
out all portions of the State. 1t is one
which should be appropriately celebrated
by every grange, school. village corpora
ton and cemetery association in our good
ly State each year, but especially so this
year, the first Inauguration OF the day.
The subject should already begin to be
discussed by the grange, and every one
owning hall and grounds should plan to
spend the day in planting trees about
it and identifying the same. Let
the children, teacher, and parents
of each school district plan to
spend part OF the day at least in plant
ing few trees and setting out some hardy
towering shrubs about the school grounds
the syringa, lilac, clematis, virginia
creeper, rhodora. etc. Then there is the
village and rural cemetery. What lone
some, forsaken, disgraceful places many
OF them arc, particularly those in our ru-
raj districts. By all means let US spend
half of each Arbor Day in clearing out
the weeds and bushes, improving and
planting with ornamental trees and shrubs
these now neglected cemeteries that are
disgrace to the communities in which they
are located Then there are the home
grounds. Let US plant trees there, one
for each member of the family, and for
absent ones, as memorial trees. How
busy the day will be, and how much can
be accomplished in the way OF tree and
flower planting. and the general i'm
provement and identifying OF our homes,
villages, school grounds, grange lots and
cemeteries Let us make early plans Tor
celebrating the day in an appropriate
manner, and ere long it will become one
of our most cherished holidays.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and
baffled the medical profession more than nasal
catarrh. While not Immediately fatal it is
among the most distressing, nauseous and
disgusting ills the flesh is heir to, and the
records show very few or no cases of radical
cures OF chronic catarrh by any of the null
titude of modes of treatment until the intro
duction of Ely's Cream Balm a few years
